Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-4000
A hybrid DVB-S2 PCI card from Hauppauge.
It is currently not supported under Linux. However, experimental support for some of the device's features is available (see below for details).
Overview/Features
Features DVB-S2, DVB-S, DVB-T, Analog TV, Composite, and FM Radio (not supported yet) all in one card!
Note: DVB-T and DVB-S cannot be used at the same, but you can use 1 if not using the other.
Components Used
- Conexant CX24116 (demodulator)
- Conexant CX24118A (demodulator)
- Conexant CX23880 (A/V decoder & PCI bridge)

Making it Work
Firmware
One could use the script provided from wget-fw.sh to fetch the firmware for us. Basically what it does is :
1) fetch an archive : "wget ftp://167.206.143.11/outgoing/Oxford/88x_2_119_25023_WHQL.zip"
2) decompress what's needed : "unzip -jo 88x_2_119_25023_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys"
3) put the firmware at the right place : "dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=/lib/firmware/dvb-fe-cx24116.fw skip=81768 bs=1 count=32522"
Debian: Place file in /usr/lib/hotplug/firmware/
For slightly newer firmware using drivers from Hauppauge
1) Download the driver archive : "wget http://www.wintvcd.co.uk/drivers/88x_2_122_26109_WHQL.zip"
2) Decompress the .sys file : "unzip -jo 88x_2_122_26109_WHQL.zip Driver88/hcw88bda.sys"
3) Extract the firmware at the right place : "dd if=hcw88bda.sys of=dvb-fe-cx24116.fw skip=75504 bs=1 count=32501"
4) Copy the firmware file (dvb-fe-cx24116.fw) to the appropriate place (typically /lib/firmware)
Drivers
There are currently no in kernel drivers for this card.
However, experimental support does exist.
This allows DVB-T or DVB-S support:
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb wget http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-sfe-latest.diff patch -d v4l-dvb -p1 < v4l-dvb-hg-sfe-latest.diff cd v4l-dvb && make && make install && reboot
- This didn't work for me with Mercurial 0.9.1: I got the message "abort: clone by revision not supported yet for remote repositories". Uninstalling the distribution version, then downloading and make install-ing 1.0.2 fixed it. Doesn't build against Linux 2.6.26.2, though. Bloop 20:18, 20 August 2008 (CEST)
See: http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/ about enabling DVB-T or DVB-S2 (DVB-S is the default at the moment)
Multifrontend driver
These drivers give you the ability to have multi frontend on the HVR4000. (ie DVB-T and DVB-S tuners )
See: http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/
hg clone http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb wget http://dev.kewl.org/hauppauge/v4l-dvb-hg-mfe-latest.diff patch -d v4l-dvb -p1 < v4l-dvb-hg-mfe-latest.diff cd v4l-dvb && make && make install && reboot
Most programs such as mythtv doesn't know about multi frontends yet. You can only use 1 at a time, but this allows you to swap between them without having to load the modules in differently.
mkdir /dev/dvb/adapter1 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/frontend0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/net1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/net0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/dvr1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/dvr0 ln -s /dev/dvb/adapter0/demux1 /dev/dvb/adapter1/demux0
Multiproto driver
The wiki in german languagedescribes what has to be done in order to compile "standard" multiproto driver.
Unfortunately at the date of writing, there is no support for our beloved card, so one should fetch
the patch from linuxtv mailing list which you should apply to the tree before compiling the driver. I haven't tested the patch which adds the multi frontend support but it's certainly a way to follow :-)
After having applied the patch, one could follow the first link of this section to have a VDR with full DVB-S2 support!!!

UPDATE 1st Aug 2008: Igor Liplianin has created another repository containing multiproto code and szap2 at http://liplianindvb.sourceforge.net/hg/, reported to be working with the HVR-4000. See http://www.linuxtv.org/pipermail/linux-dvb/2008-July/027514.html. This appears to be similar to the V4L/DVB staging development repository at http://linuxtv.org/hg/v4l-dvb/ but with the addition of multiproto code.

Remote Control Support
When you have installed the drivers check dmesg/logs and you'll find a line like:
input: CX88 IR (Hauppauge WinTV-HVR4000 as /class/input/inputX
You can run lirc for example like: lircd --driver=dev/input --device=/dev/input/eventX (replace X with what it finds in the dmesg)
Debian: edit /etc/lirc/hardware.conf DRIVER="dev/input" DEVICE="/dev/input/eventX"
/etc/lirc/lircd.conf (Works)
